Today, I spent hours debating with a lady who claimed she'd spent years "studying the big bang theory." Not only did she not know the scientific meaning of the word "theory", her killer argument was "If the big bang happened, where are the fossils?" I'm not sure whether or not I just got trolled. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, I told a friend I had become more religious lately. He immediately started mocking me for being a "stupid creationist bigot." When I told him how offensive that was, he acted bewildered and started condescendingly lecturing me about how "science has proven God does not exist." FML
Today, my daughter believed that watching the Big Bang Theory would count as studying for her chemistry final. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've fallen in love with is a "young-earth/dinosaurs-lived-with-humans" crackpot. FML
Today, I presented my child with the classic "Who came first, the chicken or the egg?" conundrum. In return, I got a detailed lecture on how birds evolved from dinosaurs, how life was created in the sea and an explanation about evolution. I got schooled by a 9 year old. FML
Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML
Today, I listened to my niece explain to me, in great detail, that the Titanic never sank, and that the year it supposedly did was a prediction of 9/11. She learned all of this from some whackjob conspiracy theory videos, and acts like she's an expert now as a result. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I had a debate at school. I had diligently studied my position, digging up historical parallels, researching the economics, and preparing citations. I lost to a guy who just yelled, "Tax the billionaires" to every question. FML
Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML
Today, I disproved a scientific theory created by my supervisor. He was furious and said that I shouldn't have tried to disprove him. He told me to continue working with his theory and now he threatens to fire me if I publish my work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There's trolling, and then there's just flat-out stupidity.

Pssh, obviously the fossils were eaten by unicorns. Everyone knows dinosaur bones are the primary source of nutrition for unicorns. And unicorn blood is the primary nutrition of Dark Lords. It's the circle of life.

#11, isn't that what we're doing now?

-11&14 i don't think what you guys said are very nice. She's not stupid, she has her own opinion and thinking of things. And OP shouldn't really argue with an old lady. She's old. I personally don't think people should 'argue' unless they have proof or been in the event. Either way, argument is a waste of breath. If you have to argue, obviously the person you are arguing with will keep disagreeing. Whats the point, seriously.

Oops, lol. OP never said if she was old, i misread. Sorry^

You do realise you just made an argument, right? Your whole post was redundant! Anyway, everyone knows we're in a turtles dream in outer space.

I dont see how i 'argued' on my comment above #44. I just stated that calling the lady stupid wasnt very nice& sharing a thought about 'arguing'.

She is stupid. It's one thing to just not know, but when you claim to be an expert and know nothing on the subject, you're setting yourself up for ridicule. And it's one thing to be courteous and another to be candid. We're being candid here

If the Big Bang happened where's Darwinism? Well apparently not with her...

People like her make the world a delightful place

Everyone knows the big bang was the result of a drunken bet god made with his buddy chubs that he could light a fart on fire.

It really is depressing to see how stupid some people are

Discussions you want to avoid with strangers: religion, politics, abortion. I'm sure there are a few I'm missing, but you get the point.

I really hope it was just a failed attempt of trolling. Because it'd be depressing if she really is that stupid.

I couldn't understand how someone could be this stupid. Then I noticed this happened in Alabama. Sorry man.

Then there is the THEORY of creation...simply the Big Bang Theory is two large asteroids ran Into each other causing an explosion and making what we have today...aside from that the only relevance is a good TV show...

You... are... an... idiot... Or a troll. But then, little difference between the two.
